On this, Veterans Day, our team members proudly marched in honor of all who served, while celebrating our own coach, Stan, Town of West Springfield’s Veteran of the Year.

In his honor, each member of our team carried handcrafted cards, made by area children, to personally hand out to an elder veteran along the parade route, recognizing their service, sacrifices, and dedication to our country.

For our veterans, It was more than just handing out cards; it was one generation of veterans honoring another. A simple gesture of gratitude, respect, and the unbreakable bonds that all veterans share.

Please join us in congratulating one of our own Veterans Dragon Boat USA team members – Stanley Hilton, Army combat veteran (1996-2005) on being named Town of West Springfield's Veteran of the Year!

This recognition is a testament to the service, leadership and commitment that defines what means to be a veteran. Stan, not only leads our team as coach, steerer, and board member, but he also continues to carve out time for the Miracle League of Western Ma and West Springfield Pack 570 Cub Scouts.

We are so proud of Stan‘s accomplishments. Through his actions, he continually reminds us that service to one’s country and community does not end when the uniform comes off.

Thank you, West Springfield and the West Springfield Veterans Advisory Board! We'll see you at the Veteran's Day Parade!

Last night, stroke by stroke, we moved together across the stillness of the water—leaving the noise of the day behind. If you know of a veteran that could benefit from this type of experience - send them our way.
